Cosmo thinks he can catch a daddy long-legs on the ceiling.

Silly Youtube, posting my reply over and over...

I think that was one of those "mosquito catchers". It looked like it had wings and Daddy Long Legs don't. Did Cosmo ever catch it?

[Dawntje]

@Winkiedoodles We've always called them Daddy long-legs here. Or langpootmug (long-legged mosquito) in Dutch. He didn't manage to catch it, no. It kept hiding from him on the ceiling. XD

@Dawntje Oh, my, I wish I had known how to say Langpootmug before we got our Yorkshire Terrier! Would Plotselingpootmug (short legged mosquito) have been a good name for her? lol Have a great day; hi to Cosmo.

[Dawntje]

@Winkiedoodles Haha... Plotselingpootmug would mean "sudden-leg mosquito". ;)

It'd be "Kortpootmug" for short legged mosquito. :)

Have a great day too!

[Winkiedoodles]

@Dawntje OK, sure. When I put "short" in the translator it came up Plotseling. "Short" can also have a meaning of "sudden" in English! So, Kortpootmug it is! :)

[Dawntje]

@Winkiedoodles You shouldn't always trust online translators. ;)

Also, I'd like to see you pronounce "Kortpootmug". Dutch is such a weird-sounding language...

[Winkiedoodles]

@Dawntje You forget I worked with the Dutch Air Force for three years just across the border from Enschede. I think "Kortpoot" sounds just like it is spelled. "Mug" would be more like "mucghhh." How did I do?

[Dawntje]

@Winkiedoodles Haha, not bad, not bad. Luckily down here in the South of Dutchieland, we don't cough up furballs when we pronounce the letter "G". ;)
